5.0 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS AND MEASURES

Caisson excavation work involves a high degree of risk due to the unexpected underground
conditions such as gasses, erosion of soil, failing objects and careless acts of workers.
Therefore, works must always be carried out with great caution and with sufficient safety
equipment, to ensure full proof ventilation system with standby equipment provision.

a) Caisson work platform protection :

 The work platform must be erected with full design, complete tools and
supervise by PIC

 Construct 600mm high toe boards or timber around the work platform to
prevent debris or equipment and workers from falling during the fabrication
rebar cage.

b) Workers Safety :

 All caissons workers must see safely helmet, safety belt whistle, body harness,
working shoes, dust mask and proper clothing.

 Workers inside the caisson hole must be attended with hoist controller on top
and shall be alert at all times
.
 Smoking is prohibited inside all caissons.

 Workers must attach safety harness to mancage when going up or down

caisson and must be careful when ascending or descending equipment..

 Adequate lighting and fresh air must be provided at all times to workers inside
the caisson hole.

c) Equipment, tools and machineries :

 All equipment and tools must be inspected regularly and properly maintained
by the workers and supervisors.

 All hoists shall be checked regularly and service from time to time.

 Inspected safety system to be verified safe by safety personnel.

d) Hazard Identification, Risk Assessment and Determining Control (HIRADC) :

 Refer to Appendix 1 for HIRADC
